L'insuffisance cardiaque chronique (par comparaison à l'insuffisance cardiaque aigüe) se caractérise surtout par le fait que l'organisme, en raison d'une évolution progressive lente, peut développer des processus de compensation (accélération du rythme cardiaque, dilatation des cavités cardiaques, augmentation du volume sanguin, augmentation de la tension artérielle, par exemple), qui peuvent compenser, pendant un certain temps, la diminution de la capacité de pompage du cœur. À ce stade, on parle d'«insuffisance cardiaque compensée», et les symptômes précités se manifestent à peine ou seulement en cas d'effort physique plus intense. 2, record 1, French, - insuffisance%20cardiaque%20compens%C3%A9e

Losartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Losartan is also used to decrease the risk of stroke in people who have high blood pressure and a heart condition called left ventricular hypertrophy(enlargement of the walls of the left side of the heart).... This medication is also used to treat kidney disease in people who have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Losartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists.

Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of anxiety-related sensations. It is thought to arise from beliefs that these sensations have harmful consequences. For example, an individual may fear that the sensation of palpitations indicates a serious, life-threatening condition, such as a heart attack. According to expectancy theory, such an individual may become anxious whenever this symptom is experienced and may tend to avoid activities or places that are believed to bring it on. 2, record 6, English, - anxiety%20sensitivity
